Myanmar national convention opposes putting country affairs on UNSC agenda

Myanmar's constitutional national convention, just resumed earlier on Tuesday, adopted a resolution in the afternoon opposing the United States for proposing to raise Myanmar's affairs on the agenda of the UN Security Council (UNSC), official sources said.

Representatives of eight delegate groups submitted the bill in their special plenary session to condemn and oppose the U.S. move, saying that by basing on fabrications of anti-government destructive elements, the U.S., through various improper ways and means, put political and economic pressure and persuaded UNSC members to place Myanmar on the UNSC agenda with the accusation that Myanmar's affairs has posed a threat to regional and international peace and security.

The convention to work out detailed basic principles for drawing up a new state constitution is being attended by over 1, 000 delegates coming from eight categories of delegate groups respectively representing national races, state service personnel, turned-in former anti-government ethnic armed groups, peasants, intellectuals, workers, political parties and parliament representatives-elect (in the 1990 general election).

Meanwhile, on Sept. 15, the UNSC approved a decision by 10 votes in favor, 4 against and 1 abstention to put Myanmar's situations on its agenda.

In this regards, official media recently carried everyday the statements of some peace groups (former anti-government armed groups) objecting the U.S. move.

The convention resumed after a recess for nearly nine months since the end of January this year.
